Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen has released her latest album, "Day and Night," while also embarking on a new Broadway project and navigating recent changes in her personal life. The singer, known for hits such as “Call Me Maybe” and “I Really Like You,” has built a reputation for delivering earnest and relatable pop music, earning critical acclaim and a loyal fan base.

Jepsen's new album is divided into two distinct styles: one half features sun-soaked psychedelic pop, while the other embraces dance and disco influences. The project illustrates a maturation in her sound and creative approach and was produced in collaboration with her husband, Cole Marsden Greif-Neill, also known as Cole MGN. The couple’s personal and professional lives have intertwined, with their romance reflected throughout the songwriting process.

Last year, Jepsen and Greif-Neill married at the iconic Chelsea Hotel in New York City, a setting significant to their relationship. The venue holds special meaning, as they had once shared a memorable week there early in their romance. The wedding was attended by about 100 guests, including musician Rufus Wainwright, who performed an a cappella version of Leonard Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel No 2,” an event Jepsen described as “unforgettable” and emblematic of the city’s spirit.

Currently, Jepsen and her family are preparing to relocate temporarily to New York for five weeks, where she will collaborate with writer Lena Dunham and actress Jessica Huang on a Broadway musical adaptation of the 1999 teen film "10 Things I Hate About You." This marks a new creative chapter for Jepsen, expanding her work beyond the pop music arena.

Throughout her career, Jepsen has been noted for embracing openness in her songwriting, encouraging listeners to express feelings directly and confidently. This approach contrasts with earlier pop trends where emotional restraint was more common. While she has never reached the commercial heights of some peers, such as Taylor Swift, Jepsen has consistently garnered praise for her songwriting craft and ability to connect authentically with fans.

Balancing motherhood, marriage, and a growing body of work, Jepsen continues to evolve as an artist, demonstrating versatility and a willingness to take creative risks in both music and theatre.
